The Philadelphia Emerging Technologies for the Enterprise Conference has established itself as the most diverse and interesting conference on the East Coast. Curated by developers, for developers, it brings together the brightest minds in software development.

Wow what a difficult presentation to listen to. The presenter clearly is very knowledgeable and comfortable speaking to a group, however, he lacks the humility and class that good / great presenters possess.

His excessive use of the word "like" took away from his content and his comfort dropping F- and S-bombs also speaks to his maturity.

Perhaps Twitter should vet their speakers a little more as it reflects poorly on their organization.
